This is not a cute little gay rom-com, as someone in IG suggested me. Its the story of two guys who go on a trail to deal with certain personal stuff
- Alexei after coming out to his parents is disowned by them and then lost his job; Ben had a series of past bad relationships and messed up life that is finally on track
. Its quite amazing how they find each other because they are not just each others support system but discover and learn a lot from the trail and from each other. Though initially Alexei is reserved and Ben reaches out to him in some ways, they gradually open up and get to know each other better - the good, bad and the ugly. Its a nice, sweet and slow read. Heavy at parts but the author handles it with utmost care.

Oh my god??? I feel like ive been putting this one off for ages and more fool me because it is absolutely WONDERFUL!?! So well written, all the dialogue and character interactions felt so natural and realistic.

So tender and beautiful I just absolutely loved Ben and Alexei's story so much

A wholesome lovely read with two cinnamon roll characters we should protect at all cost

Normally I get bored with books like this because I don’t usually like when two characters both like each other right away, but this book had enough emotions to make up for the lack of angst
